The potential use of waste glass for the production of light-weight aggregate has been studied. Granules made from finely ground glass together with foaming agents have been formed. The temperature interval of foaming has been determined by means of a hot stage microscope by which the foaming process can be easily observed. The subsequently dried granules have been fired at different temperatures for different periods of time and the properties of so-obtained granules such as density, type of porosity (open, closed), and water absorption have been determined. From the results we can conclude that the granules could be used as an aggregate for the production of light-weight bricks or blocks. Further investigations need to be performed regarding the properties of such light-weight bricks or blocks with emphasis on their mechanical properties and durability.
